Case Study: Beacon Specialized Living achieves reliable, on-time wage payments and saves time and money with ADP Wisely

Shining a beacon on simplified wage payments

Beacon Specialized Living, a nonprofit provider of coordinated care with 2,500+ employees across six states, struggled with time-consuming and costly paper-check logistics. Angela Provost, Executive Director of Payroll, faced missing and delayed checks, frequent reissues that required driving checks hours to employees, and the risk of payroll errors distracting caregivers from critical duties.

Beacon switched to Wisely by ADP pay cards, issuing cards at onboarding and enabling split deposits, instant corrections, and mobile balance tools (ATMs, cash back, PayPal/Venmo). The change eliminated overnight shipping and check stock costs (saving about $600 every two weeks), removed missing-check reconciliation headaches, accelerated payroll adjustments, and saved substantial staff time while improving employee access to funds and peace of mind.
